Body of Proof has its sights on a Human Target — as in Mark Valley — to fill one of two new roles being added for Season 3.
Sources tell TVLine that Valley, whose TV credits also include Fringe, Boston Legal and, most recently, Harry’s Law, is in talks to play the series regular role of Det. Tommy Sullivan, a onetime love interest of Megan’s who transfers to Philadelphia to win her back. The rugged cop will give his strong-willed ex a flirty hard time as they work together to solve cases.

“Things between them are not good,” a chuckling Dana Delany told me of the characters’ dynamic upon their reunion, explaining that “he was a bit of a rascal [when they dated],” eventually leading to their break-up.

Delany, when I spoke to her, alluded to having a gangbusters screen test with “a personal favorite of mine, somebody I’ve worked with in the past,” as the show went about casting Sullivan. That connective tissue, it turns out: She and Valley both starred on the 2001 primetime sudser Pasadena.

Also being cast for Body of Proof, which is writing off the characters of Peter (played by Nicholas Bishop), Bud (John Carrol Lynch) and Sam (Sonja Sohn): the role of Det. Adam Schaeffer, a smart (and smart-mouthed) rookie who routinely gets ahead of himself, causing him a bit of trouble.

《逝者之证》锁定了一个标靶——咱说的是《替身标靶》(HumanTarget)的主演马克·瓦雷(Mark Valley)。《逝者之证》有意启用他扮演该剧第三季新增的两个角色之一。

瓦雷曾出演过多部电视剧,包括《迷离档案》(Fringe)、《波士顿法律》(Boston Legal),以及最近的《律政俏师太》(Harry's Law)。消息来源告诉《电视线》(TVLine)记者,瓦雷正在和剧组商讨关于扮演常规角色侦探汤米·沙利文(Tommy Sullivan)的合约。沙利文曾经和梅根(Megan)有过一段恋情,如今调职到费城,希望赢回她的芳心。这位硬汉警察和梅根一起查案时,将给这位意志坚强的前任女友不少麻烦,同时也少不了各种调情暧昧。

丹娜•迪兰妮(Dana Delany)轻笑着和我谈起这个两个角色重逢的气场:“他们之间发生的事情并不美好。(他俩约会时)他有点无赖,这终于导致了两人的分手。”

剧组为沙利文寻找扮演者时,我和迪兰尼交谈过。她曾暗示在挑选演员时,和“我本人最喜欢的一个曾经共事过的演员”试镜头。这句话事出有因:她和瓦雷都曾主演过2001年的晚间肥皂剧《新豪门恩怨》(Pasadena)。

取消了彼得(Peter)(由尼古拉斯·毕晓普[Nicholas Bishop]扮演)、布达(Bud)(由约翰·卡洛·林奇[John Carroll Lynch]扮演)和萨姆(Sam)(由索尼娅·索恩[Sonja Sohn]扮演)等角色的《逝者之证》,还增加了一个人物:侦探亚当·西孚尔(Adam Schaeffer),一个聪明(并且嘴贱)的菜鸟,说话做事经常不过脑子,给自己惹上麻烦。
